organic peroxides can be dangerous in metal casings, and when loading it into other casings(PVC, HDPE, Polyester etc.) it can detonate by static electricity or friction.
But why do you need an casing? i think you can use pressed pieces of peroxide (like pressed stars, but then much longer: 5cm long, 1cm widt) as a detonator too! Because it's pressed it detonates, instead of just burn.
You can use the good old dextrin as binder.

So when you need to detonate some Secundairy explosives you just make a hole in it with a pen or something, and put the pressed piece of peroxide in the hole, then you put in the ignition(if you are using fuse you must be carefull, as the sparks can detonate the primairy. So i suggest you take a piece of cardboard wich fits exactly into the hole, and make a little hole in it. For the use. You know what i'm saying...)

here you can see a picture of pressed peroxide, only a little bit smaller.

your english isn't that bad. it makes sense anyway. more than mine often does and i'm english!
that looks ok but i thought maybe if you had like a vaseline lined tube and cast some AP putty with fuse in (about 1cm^2 worth) then remove once it has dried. then it would truely be caseless and you could insert it into the secondary. because its such a small amount of explosive its safer and also its enough because it would be in direct contact with the secondary. just a thought anyways.

There is a thread on caseless detonators started by Microtek, in this section. Look down the list a bit, the last reply to it was May 22nd.
Please use that one.
